The experience
Three hours covers the whole arc: you start with a warm welcome and a walk through the flavors and ingredients that define Roman food, then move straight into kneading and shaping your own pizza dough, topping it, and watching it bake. The supplì comes next. You'll fry the crispy rice croquettes and fill them with melted mozzarella. By the time you reach the gelato station, you've already made two dishes and you know how the kitchen works. The gelato feels like the natural finish, made from scratch using natural ingredients and traditional techniques.
Once everything is ready, you sit down in a cozy setting to eat what you made. The Italian wine flows throughout (not a single glass but bottomless pours), and the chef stays close, telling stories and answering questions while you taste. The atmosphere is deliberately small-group and welcoming. You're treated more like a guest than a student, which changes how the whole thing feels. At the end, you leave with the recipes the chef uses, written down so you can make these dishes at home.
The location sits just steps from the Colosseum, so it's easy to reach on foot or by public transport if you're staying nearby. The class runs in English with a live guide, and the kitchen can work around most dietary restrictions, though anyone with severe gluten or nut allergies should know that traces of both are present in the space. Non-alcoholic wine alternatives are available for anyone under 18 or who prefers not to drink.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (7 to 17 years); Infant (under 7): free.
What exactly do I make during the three hours?
You make three things: Roman-style pizza that you knead, shape and top yourself before it bakes; classic Roman supplì, which are crispy rice croquettes filled with melted mozzarella that you fry; and artisan gelato in two seasonal flavors, crafted from scratch using traditional techniques and natural ingredients.
Is the wine really included throughout, or just at the end?
Italian wine flows the whole time. It's bottomless and free-flowing from start to finish. Non-alcoholic options are also available if you prefer them or are under 18.
How many people will be in the class with me?
The class is kept small-group, so you won't be crowded in the kitchen or waiting long for the chef's attention. The exact number isn't fixed, but the size is deliberately limited to keep the atmosphere welcoming and hands-on.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Most dietary restrictions can be worked around, and the kitchen will do its best to adapt. However, the space does contain traces of gluten and nuts, so anyone with severe allergies to either should let the operator know before booking.
Where exactly is the class located?
The class is held just steps from the Colosseum in central Rome, making it easy to reach by foot or public transport. No hotel pickup is included, but the location is accessible without a car.
Do I get to take the recipes home?
Yes, the chef provides chef-approved recipes for all three dishes so you can recreate them once you're back home.
